Favorite part is the first night when they are staying in Spain at the creepy house and Percy changes into his sleep attire and Monty can’t handle it so he has to leave the room and doesn’t sleep the whole night. My least favorite part is when Monty gets with that lady at the party and gets caught by the Duke so he has to run naked through the party. I felt bad for Percy and his sister at that point. The comedy was a little too slapstick for my taste.
Although I definitely hate the idea of Monty enduring his father’s beatings, it’s one of the things that makes him so sympathetic. A character as potentially problematic as Monty needs something pretty dramatic to balance the literary scales and allow us all to pull for him/love him. I’m totally in his corner, at this point.
Because he’s going back to a lifetime of imprisonment with an abusive warden who forced him to be something he’s not. One day he’ll have kids and they a stain on the floor and ask how it got there. “It’s nothing children just my blood from your grandfather beating me.” A palace full of beating memories. But yeah we should forget all that because he’s got money??
Favorite part is Felicity, how knowledgeable about medicine she is, and how she takes zero b.s. from her brother. Least favorite part is how Percy’s aunt and uncle blame him for his epilepsy.
These characters are SO good. One of my favorite kinds of story is Selfish Ass Learns to Not Be a Selfish Ass, and getting it from Monty’s POV is great. I understand exactly where he’s coming from and why he does what he does and says what he says, so I can sympathize with him while cheering as he matures and learns to think of others. Watching this develop is my favorite.
I also like the message that even though Monty is privileged, his feelings still matter.
And I’m with the others who loath his father. My opinion of Percy’s family is quite low as well. Good job to both of them (plus Felicity) for turning out so well.
(My dad has epilepsy, incidentally. I don’t often see it presented in fiction)
Monty’s Dad would be my least favourite part
My favorite was Percy and Monty’s kiss. My least favorite would be every moment Monty’s dad is brought up
The humour is my favourite part & Percy needs all the hugs
I do love the humor as well ❤️ and I think Monty needs some hugs too ?
Oh definitely Monty needs hugs too. Maybe they could hug each other….
Perfect solution!
I want to be friends with this trio.
I second Percy’s dad as my least favorite part. Its hard to pick a favorite part because I love them all! The shenanigans are the best
Favorite would be Percy and Monty’s kiss
And least favorite is anything to do with Monty’s dad

I’m feeling this, all of this, yes. I think it would have worked better if he was merely badly disheveled rather than completely in the buff.
I totally agree!
It would still be super scandalous without feeling overly silly ?

Favorite thing was Percy and Monty kissing. Least favorite is 2 things, Monty’s father and the way Felicity and Percy treat Monty and his future
Like he has no right to feel badly because he’s got it made in the shade?

I think Percy and Felicity are going to learn to knock that shiz off.
Favorite part is Felicity, how knowledgeable about medicine she is, and how she takes zero b.s. from her brother. Least favorite part is how Percy’s aunt and uncle blame him for his epilepsy.
Favorite part is Felicitys snark and least favorite is Montys dad.
